Mr.. W. G. Mcconnell has secured a room
on the second floor of the building formerly
occupied by the Wichita Wholesale Grocery
Company on North Main street in which he
will open up geological museum. The room
has front on Main street of fifty feet and is
one hundred and fifty feet deep. 1t will be
divided into two rooms by a partition each
25xi00 feet. In one room will be the mu-
scum The exhibit will consist of monkeys,
bears, gray wolves, Hockey lamar, ant eater.
ocelOt lynx, alligator ten feet long with
three young ones, South American sloth,
raccoons, musk deer two years old weighing
|, 200 pounds, and about two hundred smaller
animals.
One of the gray wolves arrived last night
by Adams's express Mr.. Mcconnell led him
from the offies of the company on Main st
TO his cage in the museum. Although the
sidewalk was crowded it was no trouble to
get along. The crowd did not seem DESTROYS
of rubbing up against the wild animal, al
though he seemed perfectly tame and tracta
bic except when a dog should get in sight,
then he would show signs Of war.
Mr.. Mcconnell ha now on hand some mon
ster snakes OF the bird species he has the
blue, red and green macans and all kinds of
talking parrots. The department is supplied
with all kinds of birds of plumage and song.
The adjoining room will be fitted up for an
auditorium. Mr. Mcconnell left last night
for Kansas City to secure an opera troupe,
which will probably give the first entertain
ment tomorrow night. The hall is being
worked upon day and night, hoping to have
it completed for the above date.

take the Atlantic Express. The children were
chubby, healthy and sunburned. The man
said he was going back To Kansas. In answer
To inquiries he said he had been living in the

pressed by bystanders that IA man should wish
to return 10 Kansas aftei being 81 long here,

had been living. He said at French prairie
"Good heavens said man, what do YOU
